Alex's school

Last night was parent's welcoming night. We were about 40 parents that showed up to meet all teachers and to see our children's class rooms. Coffee and cookies galore was served complementary.

The school seems to be fantastic for the kids and as always the teachers look for parent support and input. Marta signed up as a substitute Spanish teacher and also played with the idea to be in the social group. I told her no, that is to much and they had four families on it all ready. It' s funny how that list always get full first, when it comes to drinking and a great opportunity to show off your house, success etc, people just jump to be able to satisfy their egos. The last list, wasn't even a list just a verbal pledge, is for the school educational board. No one was interested in that but me. I waited until we were about to leave and asked the director of the school how many parents showed some interest in that. Great she said, your the only one.

So now I am on a school educational board. I am excited, if my teachers knew this they would laugh so hard that they choke and die. How ever, now I have all the right to express my concerns over the educational level in this state, because I will try to make it better. I am on the board you know!
